The Happy Dance Quilt




Okay, this was daunting - the quilt is 24" wide by 60" long.  A nice big blank canvas.  
My drawing, small, like less than 8" high.  I could project it using my tracer projector, but there is too much light in my studio with the truck door.  So, I am thinking about doing it a different way, to get it on the large piece of paper on my design wall.


I divided it up into sections, by drawing a red line across.  This is how I will draw it larger.
The head is under a Goddess Sheet, made by Mistyfuse.  This is how I will design my entire quilt, using my drawing as sort of a pattern.
The head begins, she looks like she has a bowling ball head  LOL.
Auditioning the gray hair
My black glasses are added
50 Shades of Gray Hair
and of course, she needs a cup and saucer on her head

  3. She is so much fun! I love that you used so many different shades of grey in her hair. Will she be wearing a pink compression sock?
